The combination of this subtle colour and the softness of mohair evokes the sense of calm that cool, crisp mornings can bring. Those mornings in which you can simply soak in the beauty as the sun reflects off the fresh, pristine layer of frost in the stillness of the early morning hours. Slip on these soft mitts with their dreamy warmth and you’re all set to step outside to witness the beauty.

Morning Frost Mitts have a graceful central lace pattern, framed by a delicate twisted rib at the cuff and fingertips.
